KT-12 Stern deeper wreck section off Orosei
Practically, this is handled as a guided boat excursion from Cala Gonone.
KT-12 Stern is the intact stern section of a WWII cargo wreck in the Gulf of Orosei, dived as a guided offshore boat outing with a visible cannon, propeller, and rudder. It suits experienced scuba divers who want machinery, structure, and a historically loaded wreck section rather than a simple reef-style loop, and it rewards slow movement with the guide around a compact but distinctive site.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
30m - 34m
Depth Note
The stern section is treated as the deeper KT-12 half on the 30-34m wreck line.
Best Season
Summer.
Typical Conditions
Summer is the most stable window, but visibility can swing with currents and the site can feel more exposed offshore than in the bay.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
This is an experienced-diver wreck profile. Keep the team close, respect the deeper line, and plan the ascent conservatively.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for Advanced Open Water-equivalent divers on a guided boat run. The value is the preserved stern machinery and the controlled route around the wreck.
Freediving
Not a freedive target; the depth and wreck structure make it a scuba-only site.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel spot; the wreck sits well below surface-recreation depth.
